At Vegetarian Times, we love to cook--but that doesn't mean we want to spend every minute of our free time in the kitchen. So we're always on the lookout for quick recipes that taste time-consuming but really (secretly...when it comes to having guests over) take less than half an hour.

The following eight recipes are some of our all-time favorites. They're easy, innovative (making cheese fondue in a microwave! Using Mexican flavors for pasta!), and so good you'll want to make them again and again.

Enjoy!

Easy to double, this recipe makes a quick, fun meal for the whole family. Dipping in veggies as well as bread cubes makes fondue a healthier treat.

Can't find Gruy?re or Emmenthaler cheeses? Just substitute a highquality Swiss or Jarlsberg. The flavor will be milder, but just as tasty.
